Whether psleolithio man over inhabited Malta is open to question, but it is certain that .here was a very large populqtign in the later Stone Age.

But for the archaeologist the wonderful subterranean temples of Malta have more attraction than the roads. Perhaps the temple of Gigantia. on the sister island of Govo. may be larger, but Malta has the unrivalled structures of Hagar Kim, Baflieni, Hal Tarxlen, and others, besides many rough stone monuments, menhirs, and dolmens.

A Bronze Age burial took place within the ruins of the stone Age temple at Hal Tai-xlen, whose walls doubtless pro- vlded 100d shelter for the funeral pyre.
